How to Participate

Finally, a place where teens, parents, educators, family and fans can gather to share in a celebration of the artistic endeavors of our youth. This space exists to highlight Times Union stories and stories from readers like you. We are looking for stories, photos and videos that we can share on this site about the whole range of teen arts — visual, performing, literary, video — you name it.

To submit a story about an arts event, write or copy it into the “Post a comment” field below, then click the “Submit” button. For best display, put a blank line between paragraphs. At the end of your story, please include your name and your connection to the event. Be sure to include when and where the event happened to provide context to other readers.
